I think this MAY be part of the text from the George Nicol published version in rhyme of the three bears...it was given to me by my grandmother who says she can remember only a portion of the text but cannot remember the rest:

Once upon a time in a bygone day
there were 3 bears so the storybooks say

and they lived in the woods by a big fir tree
in a cozy little house just built for three.

the great big bear, was big and strong
his voice was gruff, and his hair was long

The middle size bear was just between
Not too fat and not too lean

The teeny weeny bear, he was so small
he hardly looked like a bear at all

In another little house, so I've been told
lived a pretty little girl with hair of gold

She romped and she danced and she sang and played
and what do you think she found one day?

IS THERE ANY CHANCE ANYONE KNOWS WHO THE AUTHOR WAS, AND WHAT WAS THE REST OF THE VERSES?

I did have this book and can't find it. I read it to my children so many times I had it memorized! My aunt gave it to me when I was a little girl. I would love to find a copy of it.
Another part I remember

The little bear was so small he hardly looked like a bear at all
The middle size bear was in between not too fat and not too lean.

Can't find anything on the author (George Nocol) in reference to this story.

Would appreciate any help.
The book I had also had other stories in it. I remember Henny Penny.....but can't remember the others.

I also had this book. I loved it. I tried to find a copy for my son when he was little, but to no avail. My grandmother gave the book to my sister, but she tossed it when it became too bedraggled. I would have loved to have copied it. I will try to remember as many verses as I can & try to post them as they come to me. Maybe, amongst us, we can reconstruct the whole verse. By the way, the story was originally by Robert Southy.

Thank you for responding ! Maybe we can do this together ! Did your copy have other stories in it also ? Mine was also falling apaet. I haven't given up completely finding it. Still hoping it will turn up some where.
